Re: files section Reply #2 – March 02, 2013, 11:06:50 pm Yahoo Message Number: 137150I guess Yahoo changed the way we view these files.

The Files and all the other links are all accessible through the Yahoo Life with a Lazy Daze RV website; log on and click "Files" (or another) from the list at the left side of the "Home" page and any message page.Joan
Re: files section Reply #5 – March 03, 2013, 10:55:38 am Yahoo Message Number: 137156"? The Files and all the other links are all accessible" Yes, but most of us are seeing a distinct (and annoying!) change in Yahoo's behavior: when I click on any of these files (such as a for-sale ad), instead of opening in my browser for immediate viewing, the file downloads to my hard drive. I must then find it and open it with a text editor to see its contents. Because most of our files are very small, the download happens so quickly that if you're not watching closely, you may never realize it took place. That makes the system seem unresponsive--"I clicked the file, but nothing happened!"I don't know why Yahoo changed this, but I wish they hadn't.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

In my FireFox sibling (Seamonkey), it's done in Preferences > Browser > Helper applications, where you find the file extension, then set the default to be Open, Save, etc.Eric Greenwell

Don't think so, Eric--it happened to all of us at the same time a couple of weeks ago, and affects multiple operating systems (Mac OS X, Windows) and multiple browsers (IE, Safari, and Firefox). But thanks for the tip.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
